Raijin reached into his inventory and pulled out another sack of coins, the rest of his savings to be exact.

"Here's the rest of my savings, about 50 gold coins. I'm sure that'll be enough to get us a good starting amount of supplies, maybe even a little extra. Now be in your way, Lil' firecracker, and make sure you keep Void in your sights, okay." He waved to Cherry, then quickly walked into,an alleyway next to the store, already punching in the number. He waited for a while, before a window opened up showing his sister. He could tell from her red eyes and then tear streaks that ran down her face that shenhad heard then news. He had changed the settings so that when he called his sister, she would see his actual face instead of his avatar's.

"H-hey sis, guess you heard the neww, huh." He saud rather lamely, unavle to look his sister in the eyes.

"Jason, ohmygodi'msogladyourokayithoughtihadlostyoyandi'dnevergettoseeyouagainand-"

"Hey, easy there Valerie, take a breath. As you can see I'm fine, and I will continue to be fine, so don't worry, okay. Besides, I bet now your happy you didn't get the game, right?" His sister, having almost nothing to do for a majority of her day, was an avid gamer andnwas extremely jealous when he had gotten Paradise for his birthday, and didn't stop pouting until Dad had promised to do the same for her. It was going to be her birthday in about a week, and it had been all she had been talking about forthe past three. Now, he figured she would want nothing to do with it.

"That isn't funny Jason, and pleasw be careful okay. Theu are going to be bringing you to the hospital, at least thats what I overheard the doctors saying. But please promise me that whatever you do, you'll come back home, okay." Valerie's eyes shone as tears began to gather again.

"I promise, so you need to focus on getting better, bye." Jason quickly ended the call, sitting down for a second and letting himself catch his breath, to steady himself in the now.

He was not Jason, he was Raijinslayer.

He was not Jason, he was Raijinslayer

*I* am not Jason, I am Raijinslayer

*I* am not Jason, I am Raijin.

He repeated this mantra in his mind, and would continue to do so until Cherry came out of the store.
